Among those who have helped not a little in pushing i the (stockinterests of ibis section for- ward, is Mr James McFarlane, of Stanley, who gine his attention to several lines of stock, not confining himself to one branch. He ha* just sold hie fine Polled Angus bull, pur- chased in Montreal, to Mr John Thompson, of Blake. He has also aold three Shropshiredown sheep to Mr T Sturdy, of Goderioh township. While at the Model Farm sale, Mr McFarlane bought a fine thoro-bred bull, and Sae also added to his stock six Highland sheep, purchased of Mr Attrili, Goderioh. Mr J. W.

TICKET AGENTs.—The'annual con- vention of the Ticket Agents of Ontario, is in session at Toronto. Mr Will Jackson, the up-towu agent of the Grand Trunk in Clinton, being one of the officers of the association, and be now being in attendance thereat. FORGOT THE DAX.—A Man who bad evidently lost his almanac or for- got the day of the week, passed through town on &Imlay last, with a plow in his wagon. He did seem to feel a little sheepish over it as he stealthily took the back streets to escape observation. TRAVELLERS.—Mr John Middle- ton, and daughter, Mr T R Mitchell, of Westfield, and Mr Fred Sparks, left on a visit to the Northwest on Tuesday; Mr N. Robson also left on a visit to his mother at Abilene, Ken- na, all being ticketed through by Mr Will Jackson. • A CANADIAN AGAIN TO THEFRONT : —Mr Fred E. Corbett of Detroit, (son of Mr E. Corbett, Clinton) who re- ceived his education at the Clinton Collegiate Institute and the Toronto University, has just been appointed one of the night -school teachers ot the public schools of that city, at a good salary. He performs these duties in addition to the business he is engaged in, and the fact that there were a number of competitors for the place, shows that Canadians are ap• preciated, and always come to the front. ON THE ALERT, —On Friday last Inspector Paisley thought he would drop out to Blyth and see how the Crooks .Act was working, as there is a building there that has no license. He found liquor in the house, which he confiscated. Hustling around among the sightseers at the fair he found two magistrates in the persons of Messrs H. Steep, Clinton, and Jas. Braithwaite. Londesboro, and before these gentlemen,the inspector brought the keeper of the bar, one named Newcombe, who imposed a fine of $50 and costs. EASILY Sorreen.—There are two "largest" papers in Huron, one pub- lished hi Goderich and one in Clin• ton. Being both Grit may account for one or both of them not telling the truth—Newe-Record. [Speaking for the one in Clinton we will give fi- gures that can be verified by anyone who has a foot rule. THE NEW ERA is composed of 8 pages, of 311.3 square inches of type matter to the page.— The Goderich paper—the Signal—is Composed of 8 pages, of 310 square inches to the page, so that the NEW ERA has the advantage by 14 square inches—not much to quarrel over,but enough to prove that the NEW ERA is the largest paper in the county, be- cause there is no other that comes within several inches of it.

Mr Geo Watt should also have been credited with first prize in general purpose clase for stallion. Rom) WORK—We do not profess to know very much about road mak. ing, but it seems to us that it would not require much knowledge to make Emma of them in this neighborhood better than they are. Go in almost any direction out of town, and a pile of gravel will be found in the middle of the road, not even spread out.— The teams that come along naturally try to avoid this, and to do so, drive on either side of it, until the outer edges of the road become cut up, and the centre of the road, where the gra- vel is piled, is only used when it is impossible to drive anywhere else.— It would not be much extra work to have the gravel spread when put on, and better roads at a season of the year when they are particularly de- sirable, would be the result. We might also mention that there Is a hole in the northern /gravel road, just Outside the town limit, that may re- sult 10 accidents, if not attended to. Five minutes work with a shovel would mu* It. • & Scott's office. The Kingston Newe declares there are five hundred chill - ren of school age in that city who do not attend school ; how many are there in Clinton? Mrs C. Dickson. who has been visiting in Detroit for a couple of weeks, returned home last week. Cantelon Bros, and others, have about one hundred men out packing apples. Mr Millar, of Abi- lene, Kansas, a former resident of town, is visiting his old friends here. Mrs Geo. Doherty was a delegate to the meeting of the Women's Foreign Missionary Society, held in Chatham last week. Mr John Kilty has left us strawberries grown on vines of this year's growth. Mr Edwin Ball, of Tuckersmith, also brought in a few garden raspberries this week. Owing to a break in the wire the electric lights on the street were not in use on Monday night, and it was just the kind of a night to show the value of the light. Mr Geo Southcombe, of Rat Portage, is down on a visit; he says that "business is good, but oh, morn, it's lonesome there, though." Mrs. Newmarcb, who has been -a reel - dent of town for a rrood many years, die on Tuesday morning last ; she leas several sons and one daughter, the latter being Mra Oliver Johnston. Mr Richardson, who has been looking after the dental practice of Mr Bruce, during the latter's illness, has gone lace to Toronto, Mr Bruce being able now to attend to his own business.— Mr W Steep, who has been visiting friends here for a couple of rnonths, returned to California on Friday last, the climate there being more favorable to his health. The family of Mr F Smith remove this week to LaGrange, a suburb of Chicago, where Mr Smith has been working for some time. We are glad to know that Mr G. Armour, who has been sick for several weeks, is now able to be out again. The infant child of Mr H B Chant, which bas been seriously ill—at the point of death—for some days, is out of dan- ger. Reeve Macmurchie has been confined to the house this week by severe illness; his friends will be glad to know that be is reeovering.— Mr Spooner took possession of the Grand Union yesterday. Owing to a misundeistanding, Mr Carr has with- drawn his contract with the Goderich Organ Company, and has arranged to travel for them. Mr T. A. Forsyth, one of the Modelites attending Clin- ton school, has been engaged for S.S. No. 2, Tuckeramith, for next year, at a salary of $340. The saying that "everything comes to those who wait" does not seem to be true, for we have waited long for some of our subscrip- tions to be paid up, and they don't seem to come. in about two weeks Hallowe'en will be here; we hope that the senseless practise of injuring pro- perty and turning things upsidedown occasiouaily indulged in at this sea- son, will be omitted this year. Mr Morrison, of Walton & Morrison, lost a brother in London, a few days ago. Mr T. Jackson, jr., leaves to -day, on a trip to Chicago. Mrs Jackson, sr., is on a visit to the same piece. Mra S. Pennabaker, of Cleveland, is visiting old scenes here. Clinton has a new station agent; he will not do much office work for some time. The Edwin Houghton Dramatic Co. commenced a three nights' engage- ment at the town hall last (Thursday) night. Mrs Adam Akam, of Brain- erd, Minnesota, is visiting friends in town. Church Work, Rev, A. Stewart has been called away to Lachute, Qae., owing to the death of his mother. Capt.Wells has taken charge of the Army here, and expects to have a lieutenant appointed to help her. The Salvation Army will hold a Memorial Service for the wife of Gen. Booth, in the barracks, on Sun- day night. Rev. Mr Irvine, of Kippen, will preach educational sermons in Rat- tenbury Street Church on Sunday next, Mr Shilton taking the work on the Kippen circuit. The New ERA had a pleasant call from Rev. Mr. Wright, of Plainwell, Mice., (son of Mr Wright, Blyth,) 00 Wednesday. He has beer for six years a resident of the States, having charge now of the Methodist church in Plainwell, a place of 1800 inhabi- tants, and although always a support- er of the party in power at Ottawa, he would not under any circumstan- ces think of returning to Canada to live ; he even goes so far as to say that circumstances tend in the direct - tion of commercial annexation --the McKinley bill notwithstanding—and regards it as but a matter of time. On Sunday evening last Rattenbury Street Church was packed in every available place by those desirous of hearing the memorial service of the late John Miller. Both the Fire Companiea, under the lead of Chiefs Coate and Wheatley, and the Inde- pendent Order of Foresters, had seats in the centre of the church, Messrs Manning and Jackson also being present as re-presenativee from the Agricultural Society. An im- pressive • and earnest sermon was preached by Mr Shilton who showed the necessity of livinfr right in order to die right, and be counselled all to take the Saviour as their truest friend and helper. His references to the deceseed, and also to his relatives were exceedingly touch- ing, and there many wet eye in the house by the time he was through. — The choir furnished music appropri- ate to the occasion. feentiouee from laet Tea) Uotinehey vs Cooper.

There are at present fifteen prisoners confined in the Jail at fourteen males and one female. Three of the males and the female were committed as helpless vagrants. These vagrants are fit sub- jects for a House of Refuge, as they are totally unfit to provide for them- selves, and your Grand Jury express re- gret that a proper place has not been provieed in the county to serve as a home for these poor unfortunates. They congratulate your Lordship and the County upon the lighthess of the criminal calandar, nocase of a particul- arly serious nature having been brought before them. They view with pleasure the marked decrease in crime of late, considering the growth and advance- ment of the country, and can only as- cribe it to our wholesome laws and their wise and conscientious enforce- ment by those charged with that duty, and they feel that of late in a case that has caused wide -spread interest not only in this country but in the Mother- land and in the neighboring Republic, the law has been vindicated in such a manner as is sure to inspire confidence in the security which is here afforded to life and property, and create a wholesome dread in the minds of cri- minals who seek to rnake this, the country of so many emigrants, the seat of their operations or the refuge for their crimes. They respectfully thank your Lordship for your lucid ex- planation of their duties and exposition of the laws in which they were partic- nlarty interested, and also the counsel for his assistance., JAS dalINSTON, FO:e/111111 Goderich, Oct., 1s110.

A PROMINENT CLINTONIAN.—The Globe, of Saturday,saya:—The Speak- er, a new Liberal weekly, and The Saturday Review, contain in their last issues to hand, long reviews of the work on the Chinook jargon, recent- ly written by Mr Horatio Hale, of Clinton, Ont. This jargon, as every- one knows, was invented when the white traders began to visit Oregon, as a means of communication between them and the numerous native tribes, as well as among the natives tbena- selves, who spoke a variety of lan- guages. Twelve of these tongues dif- fered as much from one another as English from Hebrew. The jargon is now diffused among the fifty tribes of Oregon,British Columbia and Alaska, and is of inestimable service, not only to commerce but to science, to mis- sionary effort, and to the convenience of travellers. Mr Hale, an American by birth, is a philologist of the first rank. He has resided at Clinton for many years, and has written valuable books and treatises on the Indian languages of North America. It is a pity that the Dominion Government or Provincial Government cannot see its way to providing a fund or a bu- reau for such investigations. In a few years it may be difficult to carry them on at all. We will send the NEW ERA from now to the end of the year for 2f cents to new sub- scribers. Or all new subscribers pay- ing us a years' subscription, $1.50, in advanee, will get the balance of this year free. OTICE A BIC SNAP.
